LDLC replace HellRaisers at DreamHack Denver

LDLC will take HellRaisers’ spot at DreamHack ASTRO Open Denver 2017 due to visa issues.

Unfortunately, HellRaisers won’t attend Denver 2017. Their player Özgür "woxic" Eker wasn’t able to secure a visa in time for the competition.

HellRaisers received a direct invite to the European qualifier, and claimed their ticket to Denver after an exceptional performance in the Round of 16 battle. They defeated coREA, Team Spirit, Team LDLC, and Team Dignitas, totalizing a 8-1 score.

Team LDLC, that lost against HR in the Semifinals 1 to 2, will take their place.

Kévin “Ex6TenZ” Droolans

Alexander “ALEX” McMeekin

Mathieu “Maniac” Quiquerez
